Que maravilla de entrevistados ….. bravo Jose y gracias desde España.

How is that possible? Two of my followed favourite singers have a chat, what a luck!

fascinating stuff

Is the raising of the soft palette a good thing…… or a bad thing?

Learning a lot from you two! Would be so cool to get Jack LiVigni on here some time too!

We’ve all been on the zig zag. I’ve learned to love the trial and error process it takes to develop. Just like the gym 🤘🏻💪🏻

49:00 the crack😊😊. thanks DF!

When he described this zigzag pattern of development - I felt that. It is reassuring that this seems to be a normal phenomenon for singers.

Great interview…… Great abilities

Love these man - always learn something from you and the folks you talk to.

Great interview! Entertaining and Informative.

Thanks Daniel. Always informative to watch these.

MORE of this mutha fu**in sh*t!! Awesome!

Just WOW.

Both sounds exactly the same to me..

this helps alot

Best voice among all of youtube vocal coaches.

Good talk

Thanks man I need to hear this occasionally

But why do we do this?

These interviews are great

Very interesting

Hey Daniel, great video! So to make sure i understand what you’re saying, first we inhale, and then when we sing, as we expend air to sing, we still have to maintain the position/posture of when we just inhaled? And what’s right way to think about airflow? From your video it seems that whenever you sing, you think of leaning on your lower abs? So that means that your lower abs never come in when you sing like how some other teachers explain support? Am i missing anything? I’m currently very confused because there are many schools of thought when it comes to support/appoggio. In short, when you sing, you maintain the inhaled position (which should be tiring right? at least for beginners?) while leaning against your lower abs.

Wow great voice sing t whole Chris song for us please 😮😢

Hello. How can I avail your voice lesson coach?

We're italian

So it's like going to the bathroom except that you're not grunting or feeling tension in the throat?

Yes

You said in your other video that you inflate like a barrel, especially the ribs, and really don’t let this structure fall throughout the entire phrase, right?

you talk a lot about the inhalation of surprise, but it is always done through the mouth, but I also heard about a short inhalation through the nose as if you are sniffing your favorite aroma and automatically expanding after that, it is much more convenient and familiar for me to breathe through the nose, what do you think about this?

I understand correctly that the essence of support is to inflate your ribs and inflate like a balloon and not deflate throughout the entire phrase, no matter whether you sing high notes or low ones, without straining your abs

What is the name of your best teacher, that also can sing? Please tell full name. And also what do you think about Michael Trimble. I think he is good and also good teacher.

Soulful

One of the things that plagued me in the past, and still does to a large extent, is being able to separate technical issues from health issues. Working with Dan has given me clarity on what is caused by what. It's really important to get clarify on what's caused by technical issues and what's caused by health issues. When you don't have good technique, you constantly conflate the two, which makes it difficult to understand what's really going on. Health (having a cold etc) is no excuse for not maintaining good technique, and having good technique doesn't mean you can abuse your health.

How much your lessons now Daniel?

If you don't have a lot of experience, you would probably think this was a good version of Recondita Armonia, it is not. It doesn't sound partially loud or big, to start off with. Legato is non-existent. Part of the reason why the legato is inconsistent, is because of the vibrato. That is a wobble - the vibrato is far too slow and inconsistent. For opera standards this is not a particularly great performance. That being said, if it is done as a very quick demonstration, perhaps that is okay. Teachers are not always the best performers, otherwise they would be on stage performing and not teaching. But the best singers and performers also don't necessarily make the best vocal teachers.

there's a man who really cares , Daniel you did wonders for me just made it through 6 days could not have done it without your technique teachings. thanks for your patience and talent, nice bird lol, see you next month

Going through some allergy stuff here in NH also. It seems to affect my bridge the most. There is a certain spot it seems to gunk up. I’m usually a 5 nights a week singer so I have plenty of opportunities to work on getting around it. Ha! I never force or manhandle my way through though.

Postnasal drip is the bane of my existence.

Always great info. Got yer beanie on, U expecting snow in California? ;)

This makes a lot o sense. Thank you.

Trying to absorb…….get rid of bad habits

You make sense…..many dont

Thank you

What operatic vocal exercise program you recommend for a tenor?

Daniel, in the video, you're saying to leave the stomach as it was on the inhale, but you use the lower muscles below the belly button when you sing... Is that correct? So you sing from the lower gut? It's like a downwards push?

You are a very good teacher. Thank very very much. 😊
